Number two, that is in volunteering! Portland residents are second in the country for volunteering their time and services to non-profits and charities. According to a recent report by the Corporation for National and Community Service, 36.2% of Portland residents volunteered between 2008-2010. Minneapolis eked out a victory with 37.1% volunteering during that same period. (Watch yourself Minnesotans… we’re coming for you!) The other top five cities were Salt Lake, Rochester and Seattle (Ha!).

Way to go Portland! Keep up all the hard work!
